Unitree G1 hire
The robot

Why hire the Unitree G1

It is one of the few humanoids you can genuinely take to an event: it weighs about 35 kilos, folds down for transport and has around two hours of quick-swap battery. On a stage, few things work as well: phones come out the moment it appears. It is also worth knowing what it is not. It does not roam the room on its own or hold a conversation out of the box: it walks and balances by itself, but every appearance is prepared and rehearsed, and one of our operators directs and watches it throughout the event.

How we bring it

Everything around the robot

The Unitree G1 always comes with one of our operators. The script, the AI voice and the audiovisual content are added to suit your event.

Included

Operator for the whole event

One of our technicians controls it at all times, watches the battery and the space and can stop it instantly. The robot is never alone among the audience.

Optional

Script and choreography

We prepare its performance in advance: where it comes in, which gestures it makes, when it greets and how it fits into the event script. We rehearse it beforehand at our premises.

Optional

Voice and artificial intelligence

If you want it to speak, we develop its performance with voice and AI so it can present, welcome guests or answer them.

Optional

Audiovisual production

We surround it with content: realistic AI-generated videos, projections and footage of the moment for your social media.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about hiring the Unitree G1

What can the robot do at an event?
Walk on stage and greet the audience, walk with the operator beside it, pose for photos, perform a choreography or hand over a light object. What it does is decided beforehand, built into the event script and rehearsed at our premises, so nothing is improvised on the day.
Is it autonomous or does someone control it?
It always comes with one of our operators. It walks and keeps its balance by itself, but its movements are directed and prepared in advance. At an event with an audience it makes no sense to let it loose, and the operator can stop it instantly.
Can it talk to guests?
It has four microphones and a speaker, but it does not hold a conversation out of the box. If you want it to present, welcome guests or answer questions, we develop its performance with voice and artificial intelligence, which is one of our specialities.
How long does the battery last?
About two hours per battery, which swaps in seconds. At a long event we plan it in slots: short, well-designed appearances, which also work better than having it wander around all night.
What does the venue need?
A flat, firm floor with no steps along its route, and a clear area around it. If it goes on stage, we check it beforehand with the event production. For transport it folds down to 69 cm high.
Is it safe near the audience?
Yes, under the right conditions: a perimeter around it, the operator always beside it and physical contact only when we say so. It weighs 35 kilos and moves with force, so it is never left to interact unsupervised.
How much does it cost to hire?
It depends on the duration, the city and what it has to do: an appearance at a gala is not the same as a full day at a trade show or a performance with voice and AI. Tell us about the event and we will send a fixed quote within 24 hours.
Do you take the robot anywhere in Spain?
Yes. Transport, set-up and the operator are included in a fixed quote.
